If through some terrible, unforeseen tragedy you should die tomorrow,
how would your epitaph read? What would others remember about you? In
the final analysis, you will be remembered for your good works, not for
the money you have accumulated during your lifetime. Your wealth may be
little more than the cause for disagreements among your heirs, while
your good deeds will be remembered long after you are gone. As you
accumulate wealth, devote a portion of your money and your time to
causes that benefit those less fortunate than you.

THE GREATEST OF ALL SUCCESS RULES IS THIS: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD IF YOU WERE THE OTHERS
| Image via Wikipedia |
The Golden Rule is more than a principle of ethical behavior; it is a
dynamic force that can work good in the lives of untold numbers of
people. When you make it a practice to treat others as though you were
the others, you spread goodwill among people who, in turn, may be moved
to do the same. By their actions, they influence still more people, who
generate goodwill among even more people. This force for goodwill
increases exponentially and will return to you from totally new sources.
The benefit you receive from a good deed performed today by a total
stranger may have been a chain reaction from long ago when you observed
the Golden Rule in your own dealings with another.

THE END OF THE RAINBOW IS REACHED ONLY AT THE END OF THE SECOND MILE.
Christ’s admonition to the faithful in Matthew 5:41: "And whosoever
shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain," was in response to
the Roman custom of allowing officers to force others to carry their
load for a mile. The purpose of the biblical principle, similar to the
idea of turning the other cheek, was to make good come from evil. You
can add goodness to goodness by rendering beyond what you are asked to
do. When you truly believe that the habit of going the extra mile is the
only acceptable way to conduct yourself in all your dealings with
others, when you are driven by a burning desire to serve your fellow
man, you will be rewarded both financially and personally.

WHEN ADVERSITY OVERTAKES YOU, IT PAYS TO BE THANKFUL IT WAS NOT WORSE INSTEAD OF WORRYING OVER YOUR MISFORTUNE.

| Image via Wikipedia |
There are few things in life that are as bad as they seem at first.
Dealing with adversity begins with analyzing and accepting your
situation for what it is. When you realize that things are not nearly as
bad as they might have been, you have taken the first step toward
working your way through the problem. It is a truism that you will never
be asked to carry a heavier load than you can bear, but it sometimes
helps you better appreciate that fact if you volunteer some of your time
to help those who are less fortunate than you are.

BEFORE OPPORTUNITY CROWNS YOU WITH GREAT SUCCESS, IT USUALLY TESTS YOUR METTLE THROUGH ADVERSITY.
| Image via Wikipedia |
Adversity provides the resistance necessary to develop the strength
to overcome great obstacles. This strength consists of self-confidence,
perseverance, and, very importantly, self-knowledge. For if you do
encounter a setback, it is a clue to a personal weakness. You may have
been hasty in judging a competitor, or you may have been too timid in
your vision of what needed to be done. Let adversity be your guide to
understanding where you misstepped and which qualities you need to
cultivate. No one rejoices in disappointment, but if you are
success-conscious, you can turn the situation into a chance for
improving your character, an opportunity you otherwise would have
missed.
